Highly stretchable and sensitive strain sensor based on silver nanowires/carbon nanotubes on hair band for human motion detection

In this work, a highly stretchable and sensitive strain sensor using silver nanowires(Ag NWs)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs) on hair band is proposed. The fabrication process of such sensors enabled scalable and facile production with low cost by dipping hair band into Ag NWs/MWCNTs composites suspension. The sensing performance of the sensors was optimized by tuning the Ag NWs/MWCNTs mass ratio. The hair band based strain sensor with Ag NWs/MWCNTs mass ratio of 30 exhibited the best perf...
